1. The most critical and important thing: personal documents (ID card, student ID card, valid passport, valid Hong Kong and Macao pass...), The entire flight ticket and hotel confirmation form, and ensuring smooth access to local hotels are the most important. Of course, some US dollars and credit cards must also be needed;

2. Of course, when you go to Palau, you need to go to the sea, so swimsuits (it is recommended to bring two sets, which can be changed and dressed up cool. The effect is extraordinary), brightly colored swimming caps (hotel swimming pools must bring swimming caps to the water, and bringing brightly colored swimming caps at sea will also make your goals more obvious and safer), sunscreen, sunscreen shirts, frog shoes, frog mirrors, coral reef silicone foot covers (friends who love deep sea diving know), and sunglasses (a must-have eye protection artifact).

3. Compared with clothing, it is relatively light. You only need to bring some light and casual clothing. Remind everyone to bring a piece of warm clothing, because it will be colder on the plane or after exiting the water. You can also bring some shorts, T-shirts, slippers, beach shoes, beach shirts and other comfortable and beautiful clothing;
